The sum of the first \(n\) terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) equals the sum of the first \(n\) terms of a geometric progression (GP). Both progressions have first term \(3\). The AP has integer common difference \(d\) and the GP has common ratio \(r\) (\(r \neq 1\)). Given that \(n>1\), find the common ratio \(r\) and the \(n\)th term of the AP.

Answer Options

A. r = 3, nth term = 11
B. r = 2, nth term = 13
Correct Answer C. r = 2, nth term = 11
D. r = 4, nth term = 15
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
r = 2, nth term = 11
